Disaster Filled Road Trip In My Forgotten '64 Dodge 440!
We took our ratty, untested, and recently revived '64 Dodge 440 that we thrashed on for a week, on an epic roadtrip, spanning 800+ miles from Pennsylvania to Kentucky for Holley's Moparty event. There were many roadside repairs, oil vapor in every county of PA, and even a stop at Summit Racing in Ohio! This was a killer time, and everyone should get out there and drive their old muscle cars the distance like we did, and enjoy cruisin' with your buddies!

But right this moment I'm sipping some pumpkin spice coffee, talking with my puppy dog while we watch this. Moments. Enjoy and appreciate the moments, people. Thanks for friday video, guys.

It's why the Drag Week ep is one of the best ones they've ever done. We've seen how many times Mike has gotten it wrong with Blasphemi (park bench hemi rebuild at Roadkill Nights, anyone?) so being able to see them finally drag that thing to victory feels even better.
The Oil Diverter 8000 is a top notch case of what a dude I used to work for called slam dunkatecture.

When I realized we didn’t bring a jack with us I was not thrilled!
Built a mopar 383 big block a couple years ago. Could NOT for the life of me get those rear main cap end seals in! What a TERRIBLE design!! Ended up not even putting them in. Just used the Right Stuff, using a metal rod to pack it inside the recesses until it started to visably squeeze out. Worked like a charm with zero leaks. CANNOT believe you guys managed to install them flatbacking it in the vehicle!! 😵 I had luxury of doing it on an engine stand and it still sucked ballz. My hats off to you guys!! Mad respect. Keep up the good work!
Watching this brings back memories of replacing a rear main in my '56 Ford 272, in my apartment parking lot. It used one of the old "rope" seals, and the replacement kit had the wire puller that allowed you to pull the top half around the crank. What a job!
I watch this with a stereo and a subwoofer, and that Dodge on idle hits a fat low bass note when the camera is behind the exhaust. I don't understand how this channel hasn't blown up to millions of subscribers yet.

Bringin’ back the memories! My 1rst car was my Grandfathers 64 Dodge 330 with the push button transmission and a 318 that got great gas mileage & was like a tank. I learned so much about that car with Gramps showing me how to rebuild the master cylinder by hand, doing drum brakes, u joints, exhaust systems, fuel pumps, points - everything on that old car - then doing gas mileage with a slide rule!
I just wanna tell you guys, I always love the content but absolutely love the soundtrack every episode!!

Thanks! I guess it does feel pretty RK. Was a really fun adventure!
I bought a 67' Pontiac Catalina four door sedan back in 2014. It ran ok but had a slight miss at higher rpms. Added a Petronix ignition system and it got rid of the miss. Then the front brakes started making terrible noise. Ended up doing a front disc conversion. Went pretty smooth until I went to hook up the lines. Hard lines were rusted and needed replacing. Car sat for four years cause I suck at bending lines. Discovered Inline Tube and bought the pre-bent lines I needed. Car stops on a dime now. Right now I am replacing the blower motor which needs to have the fender removed to do. I have a new aluminium radiator, silicone hoses and belts to do next. Then I need to replace the exhaust then some of the rusted body panels. I salute you for doing this roadtrip fixing the car as you go. I am going to fix all my problems first then roadtrip it.
Wow, imagine that, changing a main seal in a parking lot with a fully assembled engine and trans. So much for today’s engineering lol. I wish we could back to the old days when sanity and reason was prevalent.
Awesome. Your are a beast. The car is perfect.
That "Real Men of Genius" was hilarious! You guys should use that more.
Best Stay Tuned yet! You guys roadtripping has an OG Roadkill feel!
I love the sound of the engine at idle with that hot cam. It oozes muscularity 👍🏻 (unfortunately you’re oozing a lot of oil too!). Epic road repair R&Ring the rear main oil seal.
Hagerty: "Ah, shit, we should have kept this guy around." 200K coming up quick!
5 minutes in and I’m getting roadkill vibes this is awesome
Mike definitely gives me a 80's Beasty Boys Pennsylvania vibe... Also "crop dusting like we're growing corn" cracked me up

Thanks! Def feels a bit like an RK adventure.
Great job. You made it ! FYI (from an old mechanic), It is completely unnecessary to connect the PCV for the engine to run well. (Most cars before 1968 still had NO PCV). Just plug the vacuum source (carb, intake etc.) & let the valve covers vent to the atmosphere. My guess is that you had a stuck or broken ring that pressurized the crankcase, causing exhaust gases to escape the valve covers etc. When you first attempted to plug ALL orifices to the PCV those gases had to escape somewhere & the well worn rear main seal was convenient.
flashing tape will temporarily (permanently) fix holes in sheetmetal that you dont want...and peels off clean later for welding. thank you Tony for another video, it's been a really hard week. love the show.
Stay Tuned is taking on problems and knocking them down!

I learned to drive on a '64 Dodge 440, 4-door, wide 318 with push button tranny. First car I bought was '64 Polara, same configuration. Drove it a year and traded for a "67 Coronet 500, 2-dr with 383 4-bbl. Old Mopars bring back some good memories.
Sick changing that rear main seal in the parking lot. 😎
As the owner of a 65 Dodge Coronet 500 I'm enjoying this 64 Polar content.

Looks like someone modded the heck out of the engine compartment, but didn't bother with the things that really matter. A little money spent and that will be a nice car. Mopars of that era are pretty awesome.
Love some wire nuts! Installed every car stereo in every vehicle over last 20 years, never any issues. Makes it super easy to swap units or back to stock.
Awesome road trip, Tony. Reminds me of the original Roadkill vibe. Congrats, can't wait to see more. Glad you didn't Lose The Shop!
That Challenger reminds me of an old bracket racer at Milan; it was also an E-body with a 'cuda front clip mated to a Challenger back-half and was named "Identity Crisis."

You guys are friggin heros. I did this on a 383 a year ago helping a friend and we used a 1 piece seal that you can kinda spiral into place. I bought 2 bolts about an inch longer that the 2 that hold the seal in place and cut the heads off and used them as a locator. that seemed to help. 383 is a great engine.
Thats probably the dvr that was stolen during the last gas station robbery lol

5:07 😂😂😂😂 this made me way too happy.
Passing along an oil blow by tip: Ran into similar issues in my ‘64 Comet. PCV/catch cans helped a tiny but but the issue was hole placement in the valve cover and NO BAFFLE. Went ahead and installed baffle plates and it drastically reduced the smoke screen. I think the combination of old motor, aftermarket valve covers, roller rockers led to oil just ejecting out of the valve covers. Try a baffle and it could help (part) of your problem.
So glad i get to watch you on the tubes you were my favorite on motor trend
